Prime Minister Narendra Modi is celebrating his 74th birthday today, and true to form, he’s spending the day engaged in official duties. His visit to Odisha is packed with significant events, including the inauguration of 26 lakh houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in Gadakana, Bhubaneswar. This move highlights the government’s focus on affordable housing and uplifting underprivileged communities.
PM Modi’s day begins with his arrival at Bhubaneswar airport, after which he will directly head to the Gadakana slum area near Sainik School. Here, he will interact with beneficiaries of the PM Awas Yojana, emphasizing the government’s efforts to provide affordable housing. This initiative is a crucial step towards empowering low-income families and ensuring their dignity.
Following his engagement with PM Awas Yojana beneficiaries, PM Modi will proceed to Janata Maidan for the official launch of the Subhadra Yojana. Named after Goddess Subhadra, the sister of Lord Jagannath, this scheme promises financial assistance of Rs 10,000 to over 1 crore poor women annually, disbursed in two equal installments over five years. The Subhadra Yojana was a major commitment in the BJP’s election manifesto for Odisha, reflecting the party’s ongoing efforts to address socio-economic challenges in the state.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has organized “Seva Parv” or “Seva Pakhwada” to commemorate PM Modi’s birthday. This annual fortnight-long event honors the Prime Minister’s dedication to public welfare and his philosophy of service to humanity. Through these initiatives, PM Modi reinforces his commitment to the nation’s development and well-being.
PM Modi’s birthday celebrations will also witness the inauguration of railway projects worth ₹2,871 crore and highway projects worth ₹1,000 crore. These infrastructure developments aim to boost Odisha’s economic growth and improve connectivity. As PM Modi marks another year of service to the nation, his focus on welfare schemes and development projects underscores his unwavering dedication to India’s progress.
